Arginine and hexapeptide-9
Work well together
Use them together in the same routine, applying the amino acid first and the peptide right after. Arginine helps deliver moisture and nourishment, while hexapeptide-9 supports firmer, healthier-looking skin. You can continue using both together, but if your skin feels sensitive, try applying them on alternate nights or look for gentler formulas.
